Swiss Xbox.com outs Mass Effect 'Pinnacle Station' DLC [update]

by David Hinkle on Aug 24th 2009 11:31AM

Update: Reader Codemonkey76 points out that the listing is now on the US Xbox.com page right here. Interesting!

Remember when those Achievements for Mass Effect showed up online -- you know, these ones that mention Pinnacle Station? Well, the Swiss Xbox.com has offered up new details, pricing the DLC at 400

($5) and billing it as a series of battle scenarios lasting around "2–3 hours." The Swiss Xbox.com listing says the DLC has been available since June 16, an obvious error.

So, Bioware, EA, would you just officially announce Pinnacle Station already?

Hells yes!!

@The Baron

If you set up a Zune web account, you can buy points 400 at a time. Hope this helps out.

Nice try Ballmer.

For trying to save someone money?
Yeah, that was a douche-ass move.

I hate squad based games.

Do you know what mass effect is?

And if we were talking about squad based games, I'm sure they would have a similar opinion of you.

Very subtle reference to a lack of Left 4 Dead DLC?
If I'm right. Gimme a cookie.

I hate uninformed people

Well, the regulars here already know that. But I thought I'd let you know that too.

Mass Errect 2 Is moar like it, amirite folks?

I hate vans.

I hate stubbing my toe.

I just want this to come out already.

that's what she said!

I see your wits are nearly as quick as your batarang, Bruce. Bravo.

I wonder if the PC release will be free like the "Bring Down The Sky" DLC? Hope it comes out the same time as the 360 version or not much longer out!

I'd probably still pay for it. Although I hope it doesn't come out over GFWL - they force you to buy 1000 points at a time, and I don't have an Xbox.

I'm pretty sure you can just buy it from xbox.com, and you can get 400 pts at a time.

agreed. want some pc dlc details.

The Baron, you do not need an Xbox 360 to purchase points. The Microsoft Points work for Xbox Live, Games for Windows LIVE store and the Zune Store. Even if they have different names, they are universal points for those stores.

Yes, but I have nothing else to spend them on besides Fallout 3..

And last time I tried (for Fallout) I had to get them in an inconvenient number.

please post the DLC already. it's driving me nuts!

Yeah, you go out in a team of three characters and you have to manage all of their stuff. Artificial intelligence controls the other 2. Is that not squad based?

On behalf of the Internet...welcome!!

then i hope you're not planning on buying modern warfare 2, halo: ODST, or gears of war 3, because you'll be sorely disappointed.

ronE, the phrase "squad based game" is a term generally applied to games like Fallout Tactics or Jagged Alliance 2. Although Mass Effect does allow you to choose a couple buddies to follow you around, which one might easily term a "squad", the game still falls more accurately into the category of "Action RPG".

I'll gladly fork over $5 bucks for this.

After how much dlc they promised after ME1, and how little they delivered...this should be free as an apology

But at least it's only $5, which is good since the standard price for DLC seems to be 800 points.

hm. have to re purchase a copy of this (friend scratched teh shit out of my LE copy)

cannot wait to get my hands on this DLC

That price better be correct. $5 is decent and fair for 3 hr add on. If it were more expensive like the $10 you have to blow for the last 30 minutes of Prince of Persia, I'd be fumingly irate.

GODDAHM SAMOFLANGE!

I WILL DESTROY YOU!I WILL DESTROY YOU!
ENEMIES EVERYWHERE!

Since I'm coincidentally playing through ME for the second time right now, I am pretty stoked about this being released! I guess I just won't beat it until this drops!

If it's anything as good as Bring Down the Sky, it'll be great. Totally worth the five bucks.

Don't you have to start a new game in order to utilize ME DLC?

No you don't.

343, you do need to be able to play from a save that allows you to captain the Normandy and choose your destinations. As long as you have any saves that allow you to do this, you'll be fine. But if your only saves are from right at the end of the game, yes, you'll need to start a new game.

I'm doing the same thing. Although I will probably beat it with my second character and play through the DLC with my original character on a higher difficulty (I need those achievements!)

It's not just the Swiss Xbox.com site....

The Mass Effect DLC description is up on the English site as well people.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/offers/0ccf000a-0000-4000-8000-00004d5307e8

Hey I have 400 points left!

HOW CONVENIENT!

Ugh. I *love* Mass Effect, but I just can't bring myself to play it a fourth time just for this DLC, especially if I have to go all the way to Spectre first. Besides, I sold my copy of the game a long time ago.

Sorry BioWare ... too little, too late. I'll be first in line to buy Mass Effect 2, though.

Wow, i just sent a tip in about this, but now there's even a Pinnacle Station Premium theme on XBLM
